You were superb!

In 1936, 13-year old Ann Miller was doing a tapdance routine in a nightclub in San Francisco when she was discovered by Lucille Ball and comedian Benny Rubin. Impressed with Ann's dancing skills, they both urged RKO to sign her to a contract. At RKO Ball and Miller would make a few pictures together: Stage Door (1937), Room Service (1938) (see photo above) and Too many girls (1940). 

Some 25 years later, on 25 May 1965, Lucille Ball (who had become a big star with the I Love Lucy-shows) sent a telegram to Ann Miller, praising her for her performance on the television show The Hollywood Palace. The reason the telegram caught my eye is because of the sweet handwritten comment, added later by Miller.
